Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

the reasons the Nintendo Switch sucessor will not be a hybrid console like him and what could be Nintendo Switch holiday game?

@Giancarlothomaz
Why Elvis is not dead!

@JaxonH Precisely how I feel about those videos...

@Giancarlothomaz There's no way Nintendo's going back to separate consoles from the Switch... absolutely no way.

@Giancarlothomaz @Colonel_Mustache Ahh yes, the idea Nintendo could somehow market and support 2 HD consoles, when they could barely support 1 HD console (Wii U) and 1 SD console (3DS). If Sony struggling with PS4 & Vita didn’t prove it impossible I dunno what will. By the way I didn’t watch the videos but I’m guessing that’s what they are expecting going by the response.

@FragRed Yeah I didn't watch it either but agree with your guess...

@Colonel_Mustache I’m not sure what they have against 1 system? Why do they want 2? Is it because it’s always been that way so it should stay that way or is it because they want PS5 specs?

@FragRed I have no clue either, the Switch is the superior system in my opinion...

@FragRed Nintendo should aim for new concept for it next hardware, that what the second video i posted talkt about, staying hybrid for it next hardware, will actualy harm Nintendo, everyone will think Nintendo next hardware is a another model of Switch but more powerful, exactly what happened with Wii U, with many people trough Wii U was a acessory for Wii, we dont want the Nintendo Switch sucessor been mistaken as another model for Nintendo Switch isnt it?

@Giancarlothomaz That never stopped 3DS being a successor of DS or GBA being a successor of GB or heck any PlayStation successor other than power.

@Colonel_Mustache The bread and butter of these video thumbnails: the big red arrow pointing toward poorly done concept art

@TheBigBlue Yepppp

I don't see them ever ditching the hybrid design but maybe they could release a docked only version as a 2nd/3rd sku.

@old-dad
I imagined the next Switch machine probably have dual screen and it called Nintendo HDS.

Nintendo separating handheld and console gaming is an incredibly stupid move that anyone with half a brain cell would never do. The fusing of their handheld and console divisions that they did back in 2013 assures us that the hybrid device is their future. However, with my pessimism about Nintendo lately, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they do this just for some ridiculous gimmick.

Wouldn't be shocked but I hope not lol

@Magician How well did Mato Anomalies run when you were playing it on your Switch? I have that game also but haven't opened it yet since I was unsure of how well it performs on the Switch.

Ya know, this 1.5 TB micro SD has already paid dividends.

Obviously I wanna keep a few hundred GB extra space for the remaining games launching in the tail end of the Switch life cycle, but I did re-download about 120 GB worth of archived games that had, up until now, been kept on backup micro SD cards.

I now have all Assassin's Creed games downloaded instead of just Ezio Collection (didn't have room for all, which sucked because I was half way through Black Flag, but if there's only room for one I wanted it to be Ezio since it starts the story).

Also re-downloaded South Park Fractured But Whole, which is grid based strategy rather than turn based rpg like the first, and someone here swears it's a masterpiece so I've been wanting on the main SD. I fired it up and played a bit, and also remembered I got the season pass, so I'm good to go.

Also re-downloaded Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate. With Rise and Sunbreak I made the decision to archive, but... It's a game close to my heart, and one I genuinely might play again.

And I re-downloaded L.A. Noire. It's been 5 years since I first played it at launch, and I gotta say, I really dig this game. It's so unique, and the story really grabs you. I could never afford the 27 GB file size, but now I can, and I'm better for it. Already had some fun tonight playing it, a game I otherwise never would have touched again.

Contra Collection was another. I really like Contra! I grew up playing it on SNES, but I'd forgotten how much fun it is.

Also, Persona 5 Strikers. I love me some Persona, but with Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal I had to make some cuts. Well... not anymore. I love Strikers, and it now has the privilege of rejoining the fold.

Storage space = more games at the ready = more unique experiences to be had = more fun. Ironic how something as simple as a larger micro SD can daisy chain into having more fun.

Might re-download some games I've beaten like Bayonetta 1, Bayonetta 2 and Wonderful 101 (which I've beaten twice), just to have all Platinum Games at the ready. May also spend 100 GB on re-downloading Final Fantasy X/X-2, Final Fantasy XII, Xenoblade HD and Xenoblade 2, all lengthy JRPGs I beat on Switch, but they're some of my faves, and I just like the idea of them being downloaded and secured. Then again, it may be wiser to skip large file size JRPGs I've beaten since it's unlikely I'll replay them, unlike an action game.

@JaxonH I gotta say, the file sizes for Switch games are refreshing compared to PC games... SO much smaller...
Edit-For Big-Name games I should add...

@theepictorkoal The Switch version ran slightly rough. With texture pop-in and mild input lag that usually comes with most Switch ports. But since the game is a turn-based rpg both are inconsequential. I've played worse on the platform.

Think it's safe to say if RE4 Remake comes to the Switch's successor it'll be a cloud version like 7, Village, 2 Remake and 3 Remake:
